Conflicted State Of Mind

This is something I wrote a few months back and haven't really edited since, until typing it here tonight but I thought I'd put it up. I think there's something there if I can get the time to think about it but really if I can sit down with Tommy I know we can turn it into something good. But then time is elusive isn't it?

How am I supposed to feelwhen a man is killedshould I shout and cheerbecause he was evilhow should i react to the newsthe bringer of death is deadshould i fly a flag on highstand in the rain fist raised

according to you God loves us morewe're on his side and he protectsaccording to you we've got the rightto do as we please where we pleaseaccording to you our God rules supremeand sets us on a pedestal

you tell me that God takes sidesthank God he's on ours thenbut if his hand touched themwhy didn't he save the towerswhat makes one life worth morethan a thousand othersdoes he pick and choose whoor let us do for ourselves
